It is no more of an empirical question than whether she is Jewish. We know she is Jewish, and it is a fact simply and rightly put in the public square. If she were to hide her Jewishness, it would seem rightly odd, bizarre, anachronistic, even arguably self-critical or self-loathing. And yet we have been told by many that she is gay ... and no one will ask directly if this is true and no one in the administration will tell us definitively.
In a word, this is preposterous - a function of liberal cowardice and conservative discomfort. It should mean nothing either way. Since the issue of this tiny minority - and the right of the huge majority to determine its rights and equality - is a live issue for the court in the next generation, and since it would be bizarre to argue that a Justice's sexual orientation will not in some way affect his or her judgment of the issue, it is only logical that this question should be clarified. It's especially true with respect to Obama. He has, after all, told us that one of his criteria for a Supreme Court Justice is knowing what it feels like to be on the wrong side of legal discrimination. Well: does he view Kagan's possible life-experience as a gay woman relevant to this? Did Obama even ask about it? Are we ever going to know one way or the other? Does she have a spouse? Is this spouse going to be forced into the background in a way no heterosexual spouse ever would be?

Bob Costas became a cross-dresser? When’d that happen?
It’s a bit distressing to see how many of the comments are talking about nothing but Kagan’s looks. If we don’t like the libs focusing their remarks about Palin’s looks, or any other politician, we should at least be adult enough to not engage in it ourselves. Oppose her because of her liberal stance on the issues. Attack her for kicking the military recruiters out of Harvard. Don’t attack her simply on how she looks, or what stereotype you think she’s fitting into.
Just my 2 cents worth.
We should “in” him, if so??
If that’s what Kagan looks like, I hate to picture the female ‘husband’ who finds her erotically enticing.
She is. Kagan is a self-professed lesbian.
Kagan is as Jewish as Nancy Pelosi is the Pope.
“In a rational world her being ‘gay’ would be far down the list of reasons to reject her...”
Are you Nuts, or queer?
In a rational world, deviants wouldn’t stand a chance of being NOMINATED!!
The pic I posted is the “new” Chaz Bono!!!!!!!!!!!
As I said on an earlier post, she looks like Michael Moore’s brother. sd
My wife and I still us the “is that Pat” when we see something like that........
Hey I like women and I am happy!!!!....
Unfortunately, you won’t find many Reform Jews who are conservatives. Reform Jew are basically Unitarians.
I have to be careful, my brother who was KIA in SVN in 1968 was named Pat. I also have a nephew named after him. I do however understand your inclination...
Peace to you...
Funny Sullivan is writing this. Isn’t he gay?
You mean 'She Is So Gay.'
